0 comments by on 10/13/2015

I love soccer as much as the next person. But if you were like me and were watching either the USMNT/Costa Rica game or the USMNT/Canada U-23 game, we really could’ve watched something else to pass the time and saved two hours of sheer tedium. The Cubs eliminated the Cardinals in the NLDS, there were […]

Five possible replacements for USMNT Manager

0 comments by on 10/12/2015

There has been much talk about whether or not Jurgen Klinsmann should be fired from the USMNT. We have discussed this as well and it will remain a talking point for better or worse. More than likely, there won’t be a change until after the 2018 World Cup so…just like a Presidential election, we have […]

Should Jurgen Klinsmann stay or go? The case for and against Jurgen getting the sack as USMNT manager

0 comments by on 10/11/2015

Now that the United States lost to Mexico in the CONCACAF Cup, the hot takes are lighting up the U.S. Soccer world regarding Jurgen Klinsmann’s job security as Manager and/or Technical Director.

In a game winning goal that rivaled Benny Feilhaber’s 2007 Gold Cup winner over Mexico, Paul Aguilar volleyed one of the best trophy winning goals ever to give Mexico the CONCACAF Cup and a spot in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia. This goal capped off an unbelievable game performed by both teams. Mexico […]

VIDEO: Bobby Wood equalizes and may have saved Klinsmann his job

0 comments by

Bobby Wood has a thing for the dramatics. His two goals as a USMNT player involved scoring the game winning goals against the Netherlands and Germany this Summer. This equalizer against Mexico late in the CONCACAF Cup is definitely the biggest goal of all. Wood came on for Jozy Altidore in extra time and didn’t […]

0 comments by

The USMNT almost lost the CONCACAF Cup in the most tragic of ways. Matt Besler appeared to handle the ball inside the box and it wasn’t called. As the game entered stoppage time, Besler put his arm out and really could’ve been a penalty kick. It really did appear like a blown call. The referee […]

Geoff Cameron equalizes for USMNT minutes after allowing goal

0 comments by

After Mexico’s opening goal, the USMNT needed an answer and fast. Leave it for the right foot of Michael Bradley and the head of Geoff Cameron to give the USMNT the equalizer against Mexico in the CONCACAF Cup.

Mexico dumbfounds USMNT defense to open scoring

0 comments by

You can blame many people on the USMNT defense for allowing the opening goal of the CONCACAF Cup, but Mexico’s forwards put on the moves that really made the USMNT look like a bunch of amateurs. And not in the Jordan Morris amateur way either. The play started when both Kyle Beckerman and Matt Besler […]
